Thanks for this and other replies...only problem is there does not appear to be a -net, --net, --net, --network, /net, or /network option for either /tmp/install/install, /tmp/install/setup, or /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/setup. Are we all talking about OO1.0?
Running /tmp/install/install --help returns only five options: --help --version --prefix==PREFIX --single (since this installs a single user setup, I presume the default is a network install --interactive To further complicate matters, after deleting /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0/ and reinstalling the program, the program still works for root, but changing the setuid bit (which previously allowed a normal user to launch the program), prevents even an aborted launch, i.e., the splash screen never appears.
